My grandfather, who served in WWII [1], knew I had an interest in
computers, so he got me a portable typewriter (which I still have) and a
typing book (first published in 1923) so that I may learn how to type. He
said that not only would it serve me well with computers, but also in the
military. [2].
I do recall there being typing classes, both in middle and high school,
but never took it as a class.

[1] He served in the Navy, on a sub, in the Pacific. He never did talk
much about his service, although I do know that at least one sub he
served on was sunk by Japan.
[2] He probably felt that knowing how to type would keep me from the
front lines and most likely safe. Can't blame him on that logic.
